Dominican Republic athletics prize money
The Dominican Republic has taken $913,250 out of athletics, 34th of the 130 countries the sport has paid. Marileidy Paulino is the biggest earner on $605,500, 66.3% of the national total.

Marileidy Paulino has been paid by three of them: the Diamond League, the World Championships and the Ultimate Championship.
